Goodnight, Nostr ✨🌟

Well, people are totally going to use SimpleX to hook up, but what I mean is… the giggle factor of SimpleX’s name is kinda good

lol I don’t think SimpleX being similar to herpes simplex is a bad thing at all;

the meaning of “simplex” is totally different from how it’s used in herpes

you can make someone think differently through branding

what’s this cancel culture of words now? like, many words have many different meanings

when you have a company title that gives a reaction, that’s a good thing

Ok. I’m looking for a book but I forgot the title. I searched my house upside down for it too *laughs*

It’s a curated small book (maybe 150 pages maximum) and a new publication of short stories from ancient and modern Japanese philosophers. With an old Japanese story about a philosopher who lives midway through a mountain during serfdom but he’s glorifying and admiring the wabi sabi of living poor at the bottom of the mountain; this writer in his poem even gets angry at the bourgeoisie/wealthy class and discusses some economic issues. I’ve been searching for this book.

Can you help me figure out what publication it is?
